Thailand, Cambodia dispute exchange of fire at border
Wednesday, 25 February 2026
BANGKOK, Feb 24 (AFP): Thailand's military said its troops exchanged fire with Cambodian forces along their border on Tuesday, accusing its neighbour of violating a December truce, while Phnom Penh denied the use of "any weapons".
The Southeast Asian nations' decades-long border dispute erupted into several rounds of clashes last year, killing dozens of people and displacing more than a million in July and December.
The countries signed a ceasefire agreement in late December but tensions on the border remain, with both sides trading accusations of truce violations.
